It further reads, “There are always rumors and many use the name of Lionel to gain notoriety but the truth is only one and we can assure you that there is nothing with anyone. Neither verbal nor signed nor agreed, and there will not be until the end of the season.”

The statement also criticised he media for spreading “malicious rumors into news.”

“It seems to me a lack of respect for the media where they respond, that there are those who deceive consciously and deliberately, without providing any proof of their claims, and wanting to transform into news any malicious rumor or that is directed by someone in favor of their interests. They would have to explain why they do not check their information. They won’t want the truth to ruin their ‘news’.”

The relationship between the Parisian fans and Messi has reportedly taken a blow following the 2022 World Cup final that saw Messi and Co end a 36-year wait to win the country’s third World Cup against France in the final.
